You are a legend, I took so long searching for a vid on how to physically tap onto a board with pins to edit the BIOS and not some VBIOS crap.
Thank you man 🙏 I’m glad this was useful to you 🙂
Update: I've successfully unbricked the gpu, subscribed and liked!
Fantastic, congratulations 😃
What gpu did you unbrick ?
I have a hard time trying to unbrick my gpu rx 580 2048sp mingzhou 😢😢😢😢
Bro you're great!! Thank you so much for this, I mean how long i've been cracking my head looking for a clear explanation of this problem, you are our hero
Thank you 🙂 happy to help 🙂
"Get some paper towel, and rub some off." That got me laughing. Lol!
Hahaha I did never think of it that way 🤣🤣
Coz I have dead gpu and not detected on pc is there a way to revive this
The video is very clear and easy to understand
I have sapphire hd7770 does it required a 1.8V adapter for Ch341a?????
Yes the adapter is needed
I just got my CH341A in the mail today. I was curious, how can I be certain whether to use the series 24 or series 25 pinout? My tool has both. Also, does the card need to be powered on while flashing? Or can the data be transferred while the card is off of the motherboard?
If you bought the pack with all adapters you use the 8 pin to 8 pin adapter. I can write a full guide how mine is setup as soon as I get home from work
For flashing graphics cards, take it out from the PC and remove cooler, no power is needed for flashing it
I've used the 341 on a hdd before and thought this was possible but had yet to try it! Thanks for confirming this!
i have fixed my laptop gpu vbios ages ago when it got bricked by flashing wrong bios
Thanks! A friend gave me one of those fake 1050 ti's and I badly need to make it work for a job, coz it requires me to have a gpu and a GTS 450 is more than enough for the requirements.
You’re welcome! I’m happy this was helpful for you 😊
Haha, I was wondering if you were Swedish based on your accent, then I saw your folders, gött :D
Haha, yes I'm indeed Swedish :)
Thanks! Gonna unbrick my gtx 1060 since it's better than the crappy 1650 I have now
awesome info and thanks for leaving a google drive with the software, it worked for me!
Always happy to help, thank you for watching
Sorry bro, could you upload again the software file? I cannot download it
Viking tutorial. Badass.
Thank you 🙂
Really the best tutorial I found. Thanks!
Thanks a lot man! The ones I have seen was too fast and a little incomplete for everyone to follow so I decided to make a tutorial that literally everyone can follow 🙂
Thanks it helped me recover my rtx3060
Congratulations on saving your GPU :)
friend ... what programmer do you advise me for a gtx 1070? I understand that some work with 5volt (usb) and others with 1.8volt. (adapter) How do I know what voltage is my bios chip?
The one that I use and it’s also linked in the description is all you need apart from the software which is also linked in the description.
The answer to your last question is to take apart the gpu and locate the Bios chip, google everything that is written on it and it should lead you to the manufacturers website which most likely have all the answers for you
@@CaiusTech Find out and the chip of the gtx 1070 is the "Winbond 25Q40EWNIG 1644" works with 1.8volt. I had to buy an adapter and connect to the CH341A to be able to work with that voltage. Thanks
hey, i have a ch341a programer, doing all correctly when i connect the gripper to the bios chip the programmer disconnect, the red led on the plate seems like shine less, so searching thats for a cut, so i tested the chip and 2 pins are in 0, but i think thats pins are negative, the chip is the pm25lv512, any recomendation helps me thankss
Hi man, that sounds like that the clip is bad, they are very very sensitive
@@CaiusTech ohhh thanks for your answer man, i Will try to fix him or buy another
My GPU has 4 things with 8 legs and a dot in the corner. Two on the die side, 2 on the back side. How can I tell which is the BIOS?
Look for a text on the top, might say Winbond
Thank you so much for this helpfull video 🌟💕
Mine says:Nvidia

What GPU is this???
The new GPUs have encrypted bioses that can't be written without an encyyption key present in the flashing software .
RTX 30-series has encryption that's not bypassed at the moment. I have not seen a deep dive into the new RX 6000 series from AMD yet and have not had a chance to have a closer look myself at them. But I would not recommend doing this if the product is under warranty
@@CaiusTech Yes that is why you will not see fake RTX 3080 running around .
On the side of the buyer it is good!
@@sithounetsith9877 That is more or less nvidia doing the average consumer a nice little service but a diservice to all who wants to play with BIOS mods
I have a GTX 1080 Founders Edition gpu that's bricked and unable to post from previous owner. Doesn't this have a 3.3v output? We need to reduce to 1.8v for Nvidia graphics cards?
It has a 3,3v output but most sellers include a 1,8v adapter so it will not damage the Bios chip
Greetings and Thank you! I know this video has been out for a while, but I have an XFX AMD RX 580 8gb card, but I don't see P25021H listed in the CH341 Programmer software. Any clue which one to use? Thanks in advance.
Thank you for watching, in this case I would use the Detect function in the software and if it’s firmly connected it should find the right one
@@CaiusTech Hey man! Thanks so much for getting back to me so qiickly. I greatly appreciate it, brother! I will give it a try this morning.
@@dragasan You're welcome, always happy to help a brother out :)
@@CaiusTech Okay, everything worked with the software and the flashing exercise, now it's time to slip this card into it's proper PC, and see what happens. If it doesn't work right, at least I now know what to do, so thanks again, brother!
@@CaiusTech Holy Crap! I can't believe it! It fookin' works! Thanks so much! (Only one more to do now)
Hey bro, i have an rtx 2080ti and the voltage is stuck at .712V with a max of 1350mhz. I have tried flashing multiple bioses with different power limits but it didnt help. There s 2000W rtx 2080ti bios , its the Galax RTX 2080 Ti HOF vbios, which has unlimited power, overvoltage, voltage/frequency control. the reason i cant flash it with nvflash is because of a different EEPROM (WBond instead of ISSI). Anyways do you think this is doable in the first place and if it is, would it be a good idea to unlock the voltage control or maybe the voltage control chip of the gpu is just dead and there s nothing we can do ?
Hi man, I would not recommend that, if you can find a modded vBios for your card I would try that. But it sounds like there is an hardware issue, best is to take the card apart and inspect the components for any discoloration and use a multimeter to check if the mosfets and voltage control chip is working normally
Thank you man!
Your video is soo helpfull... but when the chip isn't in the list what can I do? my chip is MXIC 25U8033E. There is anyway to put it in the CH341a apps ???
Thanks man! What are you trying to flash? Isn’t that chip listed under Macronix?
@@CaiusTech im trying to flash a EVGA XC3 RTX 3080... I been scam... I try to give it a second life
Im so sorry to hear that, I’ll take a closer look on that chip today for you so that it hopefully can be up and running again
@@CaiusTech thank you very much!
The software that I have linked don’t have that chip but if you download NeoProgrammer you can flash your vBIOS with the CH341A
To find the chip in NeoProgrammer go to IC -> SPI_NOR -> MACRONIX and scroll down and select your chip
Hi! I have a chip named fm25f04a but the program can't detect it, and it's not listed. Can you help me?
I would recommend you to download NeoProgrammer, which I will add a link for in the video description
Coll tutorial ! Merci bien man
When I order one of these, will they come with the wire and clamps or needed to be purchased separately?
It will come with all the parts as a package
@@CaiusTech also I have a laptop RTX 2070 mobile GPU that I would like flash a modded bios that tweaks the tdp, so is it possible to use these tools to achieve this? Is my GPU a mxm module if so how can I know it?
I have only tested this on one laptop but the steps in software are the same. The MXM module has a bios chip and make sure to either remove the battery or let the battery die completely. What is your laptop model?
@@CaiusTech MSI GL65 Leopard RTX 2070 Super mobile
@@mr.expert1784 I did have a look at some pictures of the internals in the laptop and from what I can see you should be able to flash it
Ah, thank you for this video, I hope it works
It did work :)
That’s awesome to hear 😃
Just bricked my RTX 2070. Error code 43 in device manager. Cannot flash bios because Nvflash says no Nvidia Display Adapters Found...
Did you try to flash with this tool?
@@CaiusTech i cannot download your software because it says it is infected with a virus
That’s strange, try to download Neo programmer
Many thanks
You’re welcome 👍🏻
Can i flash dead gpu in this method?
Yes you can, card does not need any power for this to work
@@CaiusTech I have dead gpu and not detected is there a way to revive this
@@CaiusTech I used EZP 2019+
Does it work with maxsun rx580 ? I am a noob but i'll follow your steps , i've bricked it :( , i've already ordered the programmer , great video , thanks
Yes it will work as long as you get a compatible BIOS for the card 🙂
@@CaiusTech thank you ! , I'll wait and try it lets see
Hello , so i've located the bios chip its puya , P25Q21H , i'm pretty sure i've connected the clipper firmly i've also done so on the usb side but in the software its never detecting my chip , and sometimes when connected to the bios the device disconnects from the software and shows me as not connected and the red light goes away , any help ?
Update : i finally managed to make it work , turned out i placed the pins on the usb side incorrectly , the problem now is i cannot find a proper bios file to make it work , i tried multiple files but i wasnt sure of any of them , gpu chip is 215-0876406 which is basically rx470 for mining ( lol ) , any idea ?
@@karimcakall1289 Send me an email with pictures on the PCB and I'll see if I get a compatible vBIOS for your card :)
I followed link to download software and drivers and getting message. Sorry, this file is infected with a virus.
Only the owner is allowed to download infected files. What am I doing wrong? lol
I am able to download similar software and driver but getting the clip to stay on is a nightmare. I am so done with this experiment.
hey, where did you downloaded the software?
@rul3s1232 if I can get the link, I will let you know.
link to software I found compatible. drive.google.com/drive/folders/18wkg-plg5cd3Q4dHfr7NEwpzq_k7aaUZ. Used ver. 1.4.1
Will this 341a work with my bricked gigabyte rx5600xt rev 2.0
Yes it will work on that card 👍🏻
@@CaiusTech can you send me the link of the 341 a programmer to buy it
@@CaiusTech what model do I need to get and will it support my gpu chip that is what I need to know
@@TechGamerBb Here is a link to the programmer: amz.run/5YQ7
The programmer will have no problem with your card, lots of modders use it to flash their custom vBios to that card and every piece of drivers and software you need is linked in the video description
@@CaiusTech fixed my gpu and it feels more smooth now and plays games better now then it used to I don't know why
i'm so confuse.. i download it, it said ch341 and then sofeware.. and then i click open and nothing happens, keep asking me what program i want to open it with. so i went and download unzip thinking its in a zip file but then it won't even show me that as an option..
It’s a 7z file so you need to have WinRar or 7zip to unpack it, after its unpacked, install the driver that comes with the compressed folder
can i do this using nvflash ????
on windows 10 first install DRVSETUP64.exe or setup.exe ? which is the right file...
Install DRVSETUP64.EXE first
Could you help me, my gpu electricity good and chip getting hotter after turn on, original bios not corrupt, and i flash using same type bios but different date still wont display
Have you tried all monitor ports on the card?
@@CaiusTech yes i tried both vga, hdmi and dvi, also test on 3 different cpu and put checksum speaker, the pc wont boot, it was a new vga and only test few times after that i keep it on a anti static plastic, and when i try used it goes blank no display, do you had any idea
If you have a iGPU on your CPU you can try boot with that and see if Device Manager picks up the GPU at all, it could be a bad chip or faulty VRAM
Best way is to take a multimeter look for anything that has been shorted
@@CaiusTech i see, thanks you so much, i will try that way
nice Video thanks for that 🙂
Thank you for watching 😄
Purchased a CH341A because I bricked my GPU card, purchased one from Amazon so I can re-flash the BIOS. Installed the latest CH341A programmer (Version 1.4) and Drivers in my laptop and launched the program. With the program launched, on the bottom right hand corner it says "Device State: Not Connected" which is correct because at the time I didn't have it plugged into my USB. I plug the device into my USB and I expect it to connect and say "Device State: Connected" which it doesn't, it continues to say "Device State: Not Connected".
When in doubt go over to the University of UA-cam to get educated, found a couple of videos here however most don't show how to trouble shoot my issue. Only one I found was regarding a jumper that needs to be installed however mine came with it in the default location from the factory. Is there something I'm missing or didn't do or is this CH341A that I purchased faulty? Any recommendations?
Did you double check so that the clip is correctly connected?
@@CaiusTech I got it to read (had to install an older driver), but now when i erase and install my rom file and do a verify once everything is done I get a "chip %s with the contents are in disagreement"?
That can happen, you can try Neo Programmer to flash
@@CaiusTech I figured out the problem, I'm glad I didn't give up. It's a pain to get the little clamp seated on the bios chip, I must of tried 50+ times.
Oh yeah that part requires patience
my chip is PM25LQ020 and the software wont detect it how can i save my gpu please
How about now? I also have the same case
I know this vid is old, but I'm trying with my 3080 with bricked bios after using the zotac oficial bios update tool on theyr website.
Can't seem to find the bin or type for my bios chip : is25wp016 dnle
Any tips?
Exact same thing happened to me. My CH341A is in the mail. Did you ever figure it out?
@krystalvortex yes, i found out that the bios chip was corrupted,
i bougt a yaxun, and some other stuff, learned how to solder a bit, and made the fix myself.
it has been working fine since then,
i have the file for my model, if you get to know your own and need some help, i can try to search for it,
(but you need to identify wich mode your one is)
@@koyomiararagl Mine is the Trinity OC LHR 3080. The programmer should arrive in the next week or so. I'm hoping it all just goes smoothly, but I will hit you up if doesn't work out. Thanks.
@@krystalvortex you need the EXACT bios btw, i would look for the bios serial.
the reason my bios chip got corrupted, was cuz i used the ch341 wrong and installed the wrong bios with the wrong voltage.
there are two options of voltage on it, and many bios for the same gpu
@@koyomiararagl got the ch341A today, hooked it up and flashed my original bios backup. All worked fine, Thanks for offering to help though.
Google drive says folder has a virus and cant download zip.
You should be able to download it even when it warns of a virus, that's a false warning
hey i cannot download the link it says it is infected by a virus, could you update it please? Thank you very much :)
lol i installed one but i dont understand anything of what is written bc it is in a weird language
i got it to work it was in russian xD
Going to have to upload this somewhere else Google refuses to allow us to download it due to a false positive virus warning.
That has been done
@CaiusTech man this is rough. I might just have to desolder this thing and solder some wires to it to know I'm getting a good connection. Taking 3mins to read it only to find out it isn't reading anything is frustrating.
And is dead.. could you share again please??? @@CaiusTech
Please does this work on a laptop
I have not tried it myself but it should work, can look into it 👍🏻
@@CaiusTech please do look into it if possible I use a hp omen laptop
I have a laptop I’m going to deep clean little later so I will have a look at it then 👍🏻
@@CaiusTech ok thanks so much
Had a look at my Lenovo laptop and it’s working on it
My bios chip doesn't appear in the software. Any solution to this?
Which BIOS chip do you have?
@@CaiusTech thanks for the reply. I tried my best to zoom in and have a look at the chip. It is Pm25L0020. Or Pm25LQ020.
You should be good to go with PM25LV020 in the software, just do a couple of test reads and verify. If it goes smooth without warnings you can proceed
You can also try and use the detect button
@@CaiusTech the detect button only identifies the manufacture which is pmc. but I'll Try it anyways. thanks
Okey, do some test reads and try to verify it
It doesnt let me click the detect button
Did you install the driver?
@@CaiusTech i did even tried to reinstall it
I finally managed to connect to my vega turned out i just had to break the plastic tip on the programer connector
Great to hear that you solved it 🙂
Link Off bro, update please
I’ll fix it
software for this is impossible to find
In the description there is a link to my Google drive, there you can download it. It was a pain for me to find the right one too
@@CaiusTech i download it but my windows zip wont let me open it saying its potentially unsafe and no option is given for me to open anyways
I suggest to use 7-zip
Dosnt work on mine it comes up the chip is write protected
That should not happen at all, is the claw seated correctly?
@@CaiusTech yes it detects the chip and reads it but will not write to it, I downloaded neoproggrammer and that detects it but when you try to write it says check values as could be write protected. I have two of these fake cards and it does the same on both it will not flash them
Are you manually selecting your Bios chip in the software? Have you erased the Bios before attempting to flash the new one?
@@CaiusTech it won't erase it, it says it has but when you read the chip it is all still on there
That is very strange, I have flashed multiple fakes and real ones without a single issue. Are you using the CH341a?
Hi great video, i have a rx6600xt red devil and the rgb leds didnt work so i see that if i changed the vga bios i would work and know i can change the color but i had some shutdowns and i lost performance like 60 to 80 percente in games but my graphic cards still work so its not another way to reverse the bios without a spi flash programmer? can i do on amdvbflash? its where i done the atualization and my bios have two pre setted bios silente and oc i have done one by one and even that i have problems; thanks for your time hope you can help me
Thanks man, sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the card. You should be able to do it with AMDVBFLASH but if it don't work I would advice you to get a BIOS programmer to fix it
@@CaiusTech yhea I tried to fix with one bios from PowerColor and I still have it working bad.
Can you adive me a programmer?
The programmer can work without spi?
I would go with the one I’m using if you have an iGPU or a second computer
@@CaiusTech yes I have a second pc. Thanks a lot for your help I will command the spi commander 😉
It will maybe use full in the future too
@@CaiusTech and do you control voltage on the spi controller cause I saw other guys saying that some times it comes with way to much voltage so risk of burning component, do you had this problem.?
